Mystery of 2014 plan for a local brewery

Entrepreneur Dave Robertson, pictured, raised an unknown amount of cash from crowdfunding investors for his bid to open a local brewery, with sites mentioned including Port Edgar but also North Queensferry. Now, amid plans to open a gin distillery in Oban, nothing has so far come of the local venture.

The total amount of cash invested in his two alcohol ventures is unknown, although one man is said to have invested £2,500 in the Oban project.

There is no connection between Mr Robertson’s projects and South Queensferry’s “The Ferry Brewery”, an establiished local specialist craft brewery in South Queensferry whose ales are popular in some of the capital’s most prestigious beer pubs.
